Doxa Katokopias FC Players
Doxa (; from verb ) Liddell, Henry George, and Robert Scott. 1940.δοκέω" In ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', edited by H. S. Jones and R. McKenzie. Oxford. Clarendon Press. – via Perseus Project. is a common belief or popular opinion. In classical rhetoric, ''doxa'' is contrasted with ''episteme'' ('knowledge'). Etymology The term ''doxa'' is an ancient Greek term () that comes from the verb ''dokein'' (), meaning 'to appear, to seem, to think, to accept'. Between the 3rd and 1st centuries BCE, the term picked up an additional meaning when the Biblical Hebrew word for 'glory' () was translated by the Septuagint as ''doxa''.

The term is also used in the worship services of the Greek Orthodox Church, where the glorification of God in true worship is also seen as true belief. In that context, ''doxa'' reflects behavior or practice in worship, an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
